Stability Control / Torque Vectoring question

[pbeatty]

Hey everyone -

I have looked around the forums for a while and haven't been able to find a very good answer -

Does anybody know if the disabling the stability control will turn off the Torque vectoring or will it stay on?

I know turning on sports mode doesn't disable the stability control or the torque vectoring but if you hold the control button and turn off the stability control will this affect the torque vectoring?

Does that make sense?

TIA -

Torque vectoring is always on regardless of TCS/stability settings.

What is the biggested difference you have noticed turning the stability control off vs just putting the car into sports mode?

Mainly allowing wheel spin and letting the rear end rotate. Depending on settings it will let the front wheels spin and not cut boost to maintain traction to more or less degree (sport vs. off). And for the rear with it in sport or off, you can slide the rear end more without stability control jumping in.

Note my car is heavily modified and has an LSD, so your experience may vary slightly.

i always equated it to degree of ass-out. when On, i could hang the rear out ~15 degrees. With it in sport, ~20. with it off... i could spin it. all this was on an autocross course. professional idiot on closed course. YMMV. obey all local speed laws and don't be me.
